商品描述

Discover how to apply software engineering patterns to develop more robust firmware faster than traditional embedded development approaches. In the authors' experience, traditional embedded software projects tend towards monolithic applications that are optimized for their target hardware platforms. This leads to software that is fragile in terms of extensibility and difficult to test without fully integrated software and hardware. Patterns in the Machine focuses on creating loosely coupled implementations that embrace both change and testability.

This book illustrates how implementing continuous integration, automated unit testing, platform-independent code, and other best practices that are not typically implemented in the embedded systems world is not just feasible but also practical for today's embedded projects.

After reading this book, you will have a better idea of how to structure your embedded software projects. You will recognize that while writing unit tests, creating simulators, and implementing continuous integration requires time and effort up front, you will be amply rewarded at the end of the project in terms of quality, adaptability, and maintainability of your code.

You will:

  • Incorporate automated unit testing into an embedded project
  • Design and build functional simulators for an embedded project
  • Write production-quality software when hardware is not available
  • Use the Data Model architectural pattern to create a highly decoupled design and implementation
  • Understand the importance of defining the software architecture before implementation starts and how to do it
  • Discover why documentation is essential for an embedded project
  • Use finite state machines in embedded projects

商品描述(中文翻譯)

發現如何應用軟體工程模式,以比傳統的嵌入式開發方法更快地開發更強大的韌體。根據作者的經驗,傳統的嵌入式軟體專案傾向於開發針對目標硬體平台進行優化的單體應用程式。這導致軟體在可擴展性方面脆弱,且在沒有完全整合的軟體和硬體的情況下難以進行測試。《機器中的模式》專注於創建鬆散耦合的實現,既接受變化又可測試。

本書說明了在嵌入式系統領域通常不實施的連續整合、自動化單元測試、平台無關代碼和其他最佳實踐的實現不僅是可行的,而且對於當今的嵌入式專案也是實用的。

閱讀本書後,您將對如何結構化嵌入式軟體專案有更好的理解。您將認識到,雖然撰寫單元測試、創建模擬器和實施連續整合需要前期的時間和努力,但在專案結束時,您將在代碼的品質、適應性和可維護性方面得到豐厚的回報。

您將能夠:

- 將自動化單元測試納入嵌入式專案中
- 為嵌入式專案設計和構建功能性模擬器
- 在沒有硬體的情況下撰寫生產品質的軟體
- 使用資料模型架構模式創建高度解耦的設計和實現
- 瞭解在實施開始之前定義軟體架構的重要性以及如何做到
- 發現為嵌入式專案提供文檔的重要性
- 在嵌入式專案中使用有限狀態機

作者簡介

John Taylor has been an embedded developer for over 29 years. He has worked as a firmware engineer, technical lead, system engineer, software architect, and software development manager for companies such as Ingersoll Rand, Carrier, Allen-Bradley, Hitachi Telecom, Emerson, and several start-up companies. He has developed firmware for products that include HVAC control systems, telecom SONET nodes, IoT devices, micro code for communication chips, and medical devices. He is the co-author of five US patents and holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science.
Wayne Taylor has been a technical writer for 25 years. He has worked with companies such as IBM, Novell, Compaq, HP, EMC, SanDisk, and Western Digital. He has documented compilers, LAN driver development, storage system deployment and maintenance, and dozens of low-level and system-management APIs. He also has ten years of experience as a software development manager. He is the co-author of two US patents and holds master's degrees in English and human factors. He is a co-author of OS/2 and NetWare Programming (Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1995).
